"Simply Rwandan"

Almost every Rwandan has a story related to the 1994 genocide. The trauma was so severe that it is difficult for many people to cope. As a result, Rwanda is a delicate country whose deep wounds are still healing, and the government is working hard to ensure that Rwandans heal together as a nation. Here, ethnicity no longer exists—everyone is simply Rwandan. Therefore, it is illegal to discuss ethnic groups, except during sanctioned discussions held during Genocide Memorial Week every April.
